COVID finally got me. Here ends a good run.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

First time? I thought I was immune too...

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yup, first time. was starting to feel like the last woman standing.

I went through 4 bouts of it in the house, with all three other members going down each time, without picking it up. No isolation, as just not doable within our family. At one point, I actually thought I might be studied for a cure sort of like in that Brad Pitt zombie movie....Next time though, hit me like a freight train.

@melbourne_wanderer @Seagoon_ That's awful ๐Ÿ˜ž

Hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

Plenty of water, and rest. Don't be afraid to get the over-the-counter codral/codeine if you need to.

It sucks, I'm sorry you caught it.
